Press Release:
Holland, Michigan-based Crayon Interface and JBS Technologies of Steubenville, Ohio have been awarded an International Media New Product Award for their CellSTART™ product at the 2006 SEMA Show. The SEMA Show, held October 31 - November 3, 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the premier automative specialty products trade event in the world.
CellSTART™ allows users to control keyless entry, remote start and vehicle security systems through cell phones. The product uses proprietary software that provides a graphical interface on the cell phone for functions such as unlocking and locking doors, starting and stopping the engine, and providing notifications to users in the event of vehicle theft. By utilizing cellular technology, CellSTART™ connects people to their vehicles regardless of distance or obstructions, unlike the current remote start and vehicle security systems being sold today.
"It is quite an honor to be recognized internationally at SEMA," said Janelle Coffey, Sales and Promotions Manager for Crayon Interface. "We received significant interest from international attendees at this show, and we are excited about making CellSTART available in other areas of the world."
CellSTART™ will retail for $300 with a $99.00 annual service fee. The product was on display to the general public throughout the four-day event in preparation of its national release next month.
Crayon Interface's Moshi® wireless platform technology turns cell phones into remote control and monitoring devices through graphical software downloaded over-the-air to phones and a data network for dispatching messages between cell phones and various devices. The same Moshi™ technology is being used to power CellSTART™ for vehicles.
